Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.88.
Giron has played well in qualifying and he seems to be in good form at the moment. However, it seems to us that even that is not enough against such an opponent as Bautista Agut. Roberto won just recently in Kitzbühel, so he should be in good shape for Montreal.
Bautista Agut is having a good season. He has already won two trophies this year, one of which was on hard court. So we expect Roberto to play with confidence in Montreal. Especially since he has reached the quarter-finals twice before on these courts. However, Giron is not the opponent, who can give the match without a fight.
Chiron advanced to the main draw of the National Bank Open through qualification. Marcos defeated Jason Kubler (7-6, 6-3) in the opening round of qualifying. Marcos then defeated Alexei Popyrin (6-4, 6-7, 6-1) in three sets.
It will be recalled that the previous two tournaments ended as quickly as possible for Giron. He lost to Kwon Soon-Woo (6-7, 6-4, 5-7) in the first round of the competition in Atlanta and also lost to Nick Kyrgios (3-6, 2-6) at the start of the tournament in Washington.
Giron has come out victorious in 3 of his 9 matches against top-20 opponents this year.
Bautista Agut will make his first court appearance since winning the tournament in Kitzbühel at the end of July. In Austria, Roberto defeated young Filip Misolic (6-2, 6-2) in the final game.
It was Roberto’s second title of the season. Earlier, Bautista Agut won the Doha Open title, defeating Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-3, 6-4). Earlier in Montreal, Bautista Agut reached the quarter-finals twice.
Bautista Agut has won 5 of his 7 meetings with qualifiers this season.
